The Event of the Season 16 The date: September 18, 1987. Once again it was the event most of us look forward to every year; the Homecom- ing Dance. The day when guys finally get to take out that girl they have al- ways ask and for girls to finally get to wear that just right dress, they spent two weeks looking for. Finally, that night is here.

From 8:00 till 9:00 the music blared, playing such songs as Wipe Out , Pleasure Principle . At 9:00, Mr. Verron steped to the microphone to begin introducing the Homecoming Court and candidates for queen.
